Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters patrol and wood clan
The ancient trees in Fuguang Forest are towering, extremely thick and full of aura. In order to prevent the Wood Tribe spies from hiding among them, Luo Hong and others were not allowed to fly on the treetops from the first patrol point.
Fortunately, each of these ancient trees covers an area of tens of feet, so everyone was not greatly affected when they were flying through the forest.
Luo Hong was currently in the center of the team, holding the supernatural spirit disk issued by the Foreign Spirit Hall, carefully sensing whether there was any alien aura around him.
At the same time, he also released all his spiritual consciousness, paying attention to the disturbance within a radius of thousands of miles.
After more than ten days, he felt a little tired, but he did not dare to relax for a moment.
Tang Xin and others who were flying around him, no more than a hundred feet away, were also holding spiritual disks, but it was obvious from their appearance that they were not as meticulous in sensing the aura as Luo Hong.
Instead, his eyes were scanning randomly, constantly searching for something...
Suddenly, the eyes of a big man with green eyes in the crowd lit up, and with a quick movement, he rushed out of the queue and headed straight for a pool of water on the left.
Everyone else was shocked when they noticed the movement, but soon showed envious expressions.
It turned out that right next to the pool, there was a fist-sized white ginseng fruit sleeping soundly.
Luo Hong also saw a real ginseng fruit for the first time. He couldn't help but take a second look. He saw that this little thing was white and fat and didn't look like a ginseng. Instead, it looked like a pear with arms and legs.
His spiritual consciousness scanned but came up empty. Obviously, this little guy has completely adapted to the aura environment of the Floating Light Forest and has integrated perfectly into it, so he can only detect it with the naked eye.
It's no wonder that if they don't have some skills, with their medicinal power, no matter how many they have, they won't be able to withstand the arrests of the Tianyuan City monks.
However, just when Luo Hong was about to take back his consciousness, he discovered something seemed to be moving in the pool.
Suddenly, he frowned and focused his consciousness to investigate carefully.
The next moment, his expression changed and he said:
"Stay away from the pool!"
Upon hearing this, the big man with green eyes subconsciously looked towards the pool, only to see numerous bubbles appearing on the surface of the pool at some unknown time, as if some strange beast was trying to escape from it.
Seeing this scene, the big man with green eyes suddenly felt like he was dead. He quickly turned around to escape the light, and without saying a word, he threw a rusty bronze bell behind him.
Just as the rusty bronze bell grew in the wind, the sound of "bang bang" water breaking came from the pool, and more than a thousand beetles with dark and shiny carapace, half finger-long, suddenly escaped from the pool.
I saw these black beetles gathering slightly in the air, and the spiritual patterns on their backs lit up one after another, and then they all shot out, like more than a thousand black arrows, shooting at the big man with blue eyes.
"No, it's air lice!"
After seeing the attacking spirit insect clearly, Taoist Wang immediately exclaimed with fear on his face.
The green-eyed man who was being chased also recognized this kind of spiritual insect, his face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly threw various magic weapons and talismans behind him.
The flying speed of the flying louse was so fast that it hit the rusty bronze bell in an instant. There was only a crisp sound of "clang, clang, clang". The treasure was riddled with holes in one breath and was scrapped on the spot.
Then, the flying lice hit the magic talisman thrown by the big man with blue eyes, and the five elements spells of wind, fire, thunder and lightning were mixed together to build a wall, and the momentum was very terrifying.
However, these black beetles did not dodge at the moment. They suddenly gathered in the middle and rushed in.
When they rushed out from the other end in an instant, there were only dozens of them missing from the periphery, which had no impact on the insect swarm.
At this moment, the swarm of insects had approached a distance of tens of feet from the big man with blue eyes. Although there were two shields blocking them, the big man with green eyes knew very well that this would not allow him to live for a few more breaths, and strong despair immediately surged into his heart.
After a moment of despair, the big man with green eyes suddenly showed a cruel look on his face. He turned around to face the insect swarm and started to cast a spell, obviously hoping to bite off a piece of the insect swarm's flesh before he died.
However, at this moment, a strange scene suddenly appeared in front of him.
I saw that all of those flying lice suddenly stopped in the air, as if they had been immobilized, and then a heat wave swept from behind.
A row of blue-white fire waves surged past the immobilized sky lice, followed by a "cracking" sound, and more than a thousand sky lice were burned to ashes in an instant!
It turned out that Luo Hong had already escaped at the same time as he shouted the warning. Only then could he use the power of the universe to immobilize the flying lice in the midst of lightning and flint, and then use the divine fire of the Sirius to kill them all.
The escaping speed of this kind of spiritual insect even surprised him. If thunderous means were not used, once the insect swarm dispersed, it would be very troublesome.
Seeing that the flying lice chasing him to the sky and nowhere to go down to the earth were easily killed, the big man with green eyes couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After he came to his senses, he immediately turned around and saluted Luo Hong respectfully:
"Thank you, Senior Luo, for your life-saving grace. I will never forget it!"
"Well, you seem to recognize this kind of spiritual insect, but you were not prepared at all just now. Has this insect not appeared in the Floating Light Forest before?"
Luo Hong nodded slightly, not dissatisfied with the big green-eyed man causing trouble. After all, the waterhole was not far from their patrol route. Even if the big green-eyed man didn't get close, they would most likely be attacked.
In addition, he had promised everyone to arrest Shenguo along the way, and the big man with blue eyes did not do anything extraordinary.
"Back to my predecessors, the sky louse is a ferocious insect commonly found in the wilderness. It likes to beat its prey full of holes and then lay eggs in the corpse of the prey.
It has also wandered to Fuli Swamp and other areas before, but it does not exist here in Floating Light Forest, but even if it appears, it would not be surprising."
The green-eyed man secretly thought it was bad luck and replied.
For a white ginseng fruit, he lost a magic weapon and several high-level spiritual talismans. He suffered a huge loss.
“I see, since they came from the wilderness, it’s probably not just this group.
You should be careful on the next journey. When you get to the next patrol point, you can go hunting for ginseng fruits together."
Luo Hong secretly scanned the surroundings several times with his spiritual consciousness and found nothing strange, so he made arrangements.
Everyone didn't have any objections after hearing this. After all, with their level of cultivation, they probably wouldn't be able to cope with a sneak attack by flying lice alone.
As a result, they could only form teams in twos and threes to search for fruits during the rest time after arriving at the patrol point.
After a small interlude, everyone gathered their spirits and set out to patrol again, and the nameless pool immediately returned to calm.
However, this calmness did not last long. Only half an hour later, a strange spiritual light flashed from an ancient tree beside the pool.
Not long after, five figures who were somewhat similar to the human race, but had green skin and slightly purple eyes walked out of the tree trunks.
If there were monks from Tianyuan City here, they would be able to recognize these as members of the Wood Clan at a glance!
Moreover, it can be seen from the purple belts around their waists that these five Wood Clan are all purple-level beings, which is equivalent to the human race's state of becoming gods.
After walking out of the ancient tree, the only slender woman among the five took a few steps to the edge of the pool, stretched out her green palm and waved, and a milky white bead flew out from the ground.
Then, the Wood tribe woman spit out a blue beam of light towards the orb in her hand, recited a few spells, and threw it in front of the other four people.
I saw that this milky white bead suddenly stopped when it flew to the highest point, and then it shed a white light, condensing a few blurry figures.
Immediately, these figures began to move, and they behaved exactly the same as the green-eyed man and Luo Hong by the pool.
"It is indeed the power of the universe. The guys from the Spirit Clan did not lie!"
After seeing the image in the orb, a ten-foot-tall Wood tribe man said in a deep voice.
"Although the superiors ordered us to search for the treasure of the universe, this person obviously has some issues with the spirit clan, but he must be careful not to be used by the spirit clan."
A man from the Wood tribe next to him, covered in thorns, frowned and said.
The reason why they focused on Luo Hong was because the Spirit Clan took the initiative to give them information. Although this move was very suspicious, it was related to the treasure of the universe, so they still set up a trap here to test it out.
However, whether to carry out further actions, the Thorn Wood Spirit believes that it needs to be considered in the long term.
"Mu Cang, you are too careful. Those guys from the Spirit Clan don't know that we are lurking in the Floating Light Forest. This is a good opportunity to obtain the treasure of the universe. Otherwise, when they return to Tianyuan City, our strength will not be comparable to that of the Spirit Clan.
.”
A wooden spirit with yellow lines on his face and holding a spear shook his head slowly.
Due to their own racial characteristics, the Spirit Tribe and the Shadow Tribe can disguise themselves as magic weapons of the human and demon tribes, and the other can disguise themselves as Nascent Soul. It is much easier to sneak into Tianyuan City than the other tribes.
"I think I need to ask Mr. Huarui if we should take action. After all, the motives of the spirit race are a bit weird, as if they suffered a loss from the human race."
The woman from the Mu tribe took back the orb and made some suggestions.
"Master Huarui had a battle with an ancient wild beast before, and his injury has not healed, but it is not appropriate to disturb him.
And what Mu Zheng said is right, the opportunity is rare, this person's treasure of the world is exactly what this clan needs urgently, so you must not miss it!
As for whether the Spirit Race is hiding in the dark and trying to reap the benefits, we only need to test it again to find out."
At this time, a man from the Mu tribe wearing a purple robe suddenly took charge. Then he turned his eyes and looked at the woman from the Mu tribe and said:
"Hua Xun, how are the domestication of those black light beasts going?"
"It's worth a use."
The woman from the Mu tribe named Hua Xun nodded in response.
"Then go and prepare. If we can successfully obtain this great achievement, we can leave this hellish place!"
The Purple Robe Wood Tribe narrowed his eyes slightly and made the final decision.
In fact, the four of them perked up after hearing the words, and escaped into the nearby ancient trees in a flash.
On the other side, Luo Hong had no idea that he had been targeted by a group of Zijie Mu clan. On the twenty-fourth day after arriving at the first patrol point, he finally led his team to the second patrol point.
This is a wooden house built on an ancient tree, surrounded by a magic circle, which can be used by patrols to rest.
In the center of the illusion formation, stands a black crystal stone engraved with runes.
This stone is connected to the surrounding earth veins and cannot be moved without making a huge noise.
The first thing Luo Hong did when he arrived here was to go to the black crystal stone and use the Qing Ming Ling to cast a spell on it.
As a beam of light shot out from the black crystal and hit the Qingming Ling, he nodded with satisfaction and ordered everyone:
"Rest for five days, and we'll start again early in the morning on the sixth day."
There are six more patrol points like this on their route, which means that one patrol will take at least half a year.
In the Floating Light Forest, due to the existence of various ginseng fruits, most of the time, each patrol team will take the initiative to slow down, so it usually takes more than half a year to complete a patrol mission.
The five days of rest given by Luo Hong is actually a small amount of time. After all, everyone's mana and mind have been depleted along the way, so they really need to rest for a day or two.
In this way, they only had three days to search for ginseng fruits.
However, Luo Hong had just demonstrated his magical powers a few days ago, and no one dared to object at the moment. Anyway, this place is not deep into the Floating Light Forest, and the chance of finding ginseng fruits is low.
After watching each of his ten men enter a wooden house, Luo Hong took a step forward alone, pressed his right palm on the black crystal, and when he spat out his magic power, a suction force came from it.
Luo Hong did not resist at the moment and allowed the suction force to take him away. As soon as his eyes flashed, he came to a dark place.
"Junior Brother Luo, you are half a day late, but you encountered trouble on the way?"
The voice of Xiang Zhili suddenly came from ahead, and on a formation not far away, there were actually the shadows of Xiang Zhili and Baiyunzhou.
This is another function of the black crystal, which allows various patrol teams to communicate with each other.
If something happens, you can rely on the formation here to teleport people from different patrol points.
However, although this function is good, it is rarely used. Firstly, the patrol team is usually attacked during the patrol, and secondly, few people are willing to wade into other people's muddy waters.
The superiors did not force the patrols to support each other beforehand. After all, if the aliens attacked premeditatedly, they must have been fully prepared. Most of the time, support would only increase casualties.
"I encountered a group of flying lice and almost killed a team member, so I took action in time to save him.
Senior Brother Xiang and Fellow Daoist Bai, what situations did you encounter along the way?"
Luo Hong stood on the edge of the formation with his hands behind his back. He knew that he was also a shadow in the opponent's eyes at this time.
"Brother Wei and Brother Bai had a smooth journey. They didn't even see any sign of the alien race. However, Brother Bai found a red ginseng fruit, but it was a pity that it ran away."
Xiang Zhili heard that it was not a big deal, so he didn't take it to heart and talked about his own situation.
"Bai didn't expect the red ginseng fruit to escape so fast here!
Of course, if Bai hadn't gotten used to the aura environment here, he wouldn't have let it run away and lose face in vain.
But from this point of view, the purple ginseng fruit must be more difficult, and it will be extremely difficult for us to catch it alone."
Baiyunzhou said with a slightly ashamed smile.
"Brother Bai means that you want to cooperate and carry out the containment?"
Xiang Zhili's eyes lit up and he said.
"Yes, Bai has already seen the map, and the patrol routes of our three patrol teams are right next to each other.
If one of us finds a purple ginseng fruit and is not sure about catching it, it is better to drive it towards the other two people and gradually confine it in an area.
In this way, our chances of success will be greatly increased."
If he missed the red ginseng fruit, he would lose it. It was useless to him anyway, but if he lost the purple ginseng fruit in vain, Baiyunzhou thought he would be depressed for a while.
Therefore, he thought a lot along the way and formulated such a plan.
"The idea is good, but how will it be distributed?"
Xiang Zhili asked with a frown.
"Since everyone has contributed, they should be divided equally, one by one. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Luo?"
Seeing that Luo Hong didn't speak for a long time, Baiyunzhou couldn't help but ask his opinion.
"Luo is fine."
Although purple ginseng fruit is extremely rare, Luo Hong did not need to pour cold water on it at this time and immediately agreed.
Anyway, he is confident in his luck, so he must be taking advantage of this distribution method!
